Excellent helicopter combat game Cleared Hot is getting a "Native Steam Deck build"

Quoting: CaldathrasNever could get the Windows-based demo to work in Linux. I had really wanted to try this one out but I'm not going to buy it sight unseen. Besides, will Steam let you install it on desktop Linux?
It works fine for me on Proton. If you force the use of the Linux version, it tries to download something then says the executable is missing. That is now before the next update.
NVIDIA hiring Linux driver engineers to help with Vulkan, Proton and more

Quoting: octarine_dreamThe dreamland optimist in me thinks they're projecting more gamers switching off windows and they want to avoid an entire new generation of 'avoid nvidia on linux'; a mantra like that is tough to shift. Yes, I used a semicolon, but I assure you I am human.
That looks like something a bot would say...
Intel hiring GPU driver engineers for Linux

Well, I think this puts a end to the speculations about Intel discontinuing their discrete GPU lineup.

About their requirement for on site work, they better change it if they want to get good and experienced workers. People are fed up with jobs that involve long, daily commuting but can easily be done from home. After all, AMD does have people on their team that work remotely and they have done pretty well.
Valve wins legal battle against patent troll Rothschild and associated companies

Valve have big pockets and can afford to drag this in courts for years. But there are patent trolls going after the small companies and try to defeat them only trough legal costs.
Godot Engine suffering from lots of "AI slop" code submissions

Quoting: Liam DaweI heard about this the other day, because Ars Technica then ran (and removed [External Link] ) an article, which used AI which entirely made up quotes about it all.
I was talking to a professor and he told a funny story about AI. One of his sloppy students delivered a good paper on a subject. He was surprised and thought he may had misjudged him. Then he started to check the quotes... One of them put the student as co-autor on a paper published on the late 60's, together with a famous researcher. Of course the sloppy student was too lazy to proof read the ChatGPT work, and simply Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V it. The professor called the student as asked how was it to work with such renowned researcher...
AMD say the Steam Machine is "on track" for an early 2026 release

The biggest troll Valve could do is to launch it on march 3, together with HL3. But unfortunately is not gonna happen in today's situation.
Steam Machine & Steam Frame FAQ - RAM and storage crisis to blame for no pricing or dates

They can probably launch the controller this year, but I'm not holding my breath. As the Steam Machine itself, I don't think it is gonna happen with today's market. I don't think Valve will sell hardware at a loss hopping for the best at the end of the year.
HUNTDOWN: OVERTIME looks like a glorious follow-up to HUNTDOWN from 2021

Oh yesssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!111!!!

I put over 130 hours on this game, and it is just a run and gun, but man do they got that one right. I even got the soundtrack. A must have for anyone who likes the 80's stile.

Unfortunately looks like they will put some modern gameplay shenanigans on this one, but I'm just happy they are making a sequel. And it will have a Linux port too!
Ubisoft implementing cost-reduction restructuring, cancelling various games and closing studios

"Gamers are used to owning their games. That's the consumer shift that needs to happen"
"So it's about feeling comfortable with not owning your game"
Uhum. Tell me how that worked out for you.
KDE Plasma 6.6 will finally stop the system sleeping when gaming with a controller
7 Jan 2026 at 3:22 pm UTC Likes: 1
Well, my systems (I use KDE exclusively) are configured to never go to sleep when plugged in. Screen will turn off after 1 hour without activity. But I have never had it doing so while playing a game or watching something.
